Right call. No doubt.

Canucks will win now. Don't see any other way this plays out.

I hate the Canucks but I also can’t stand Reaves and the thought of him possibly costing his team a series makes me happy.

Having Reeves out for the game could make a difference too, takes a huge intimidation factor away not to mention a big hitter.

Easy 5 and game call, all day long. Reaves is an utter moron.

They go through the whole 5 minute power play without even coming close to scoring? They appear to be treating this like a welcome break from having to constantly defend.

Half over, not even a shot on goal. Your goalie does all that and this is the effort you put in?

Outstanding PK by Vegas. Would be huge if they can kill off the entire thing.

Huge morale boost to kill the bulk of that to wrap up the period.

Shots 21-6, talk in Vegas' room needs to be that Demko isn't invincible

Vegas yelling this from the bench after the hit, especially the way to put your head back comment is so scummy

Has some language so linking the tweet not posting

Hard to fathom an NHL team facing elimination from the playoffs can muster all of 6 shots through 40 minutes of hockey...yet here we are.

It’s 2020. We all know they are getting that bounce.

What a great couple of games today. Both wild in almost opposite ways.



I think Demko is trading on a bit of luck so far (you'd almost have to be to have his stats over the last 3 games). But he's only got to hold that up for another 20 minutes and hope someone on his team can catch a break. If the Nucks score on what remains of this PP, it's going to be hold-onto-your-butts hockey the rest of the way.



And Motte is lucky that Reaves didn't connect with that hit as well as he intended. Utterly reckless by Reaves.

The Canucks look awful. I am not shocked because they have been playing a lot of intense hockey for the past month while Vegas has played a round robin and a weak Chicago team.
